Associations between obesity and cognitive impairment in the Chinese elderly: an observational study.
Observational study in Clinical interventions in aging, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05841173 (Effects of Weight Loss Management on Cognitive Function in Elderly Obese Women), which is not on this map. Cited by 75 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Abstract
purposeThe aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between obesity and cognitive impairment in the Chinese elderly. PATIENTS AND
methodsPatients aged 60 years or above were enrolled from the Department of Geriatrics of The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from March 2013 to May 2017. Mini-Mental State Examination scale was used to assess the cognitive function. Body mass index (BMI) and waist-hip ratio were used to classify obesity. Student's
resultsA total of 1,100 patients including 568 men and 532 women aged 60-98 years (median age 79 years) were enrolled. After adjusting for age, gender, smoking, drinking, education level, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, and diabetes, overweight was significantly associated with a decreased risk of cognitive impairment (OR=0.458, 95% CI=0.298-0.703,
conclusionOverweight is associated with a decreased risk of cognitive impairment in the Chinese elderly, while abdominal obesity is associated with an increased risk of cognitive impairment independent of conventional sociodemographic, lifestyle, and health-related comorbid factors.
